The New York papers which published
long list of judgments for debt against Col.
John r. Fellows, the Democratic candi-
date for District Attorney of New York,
did not take the trouble to investigate
further than the court records. 1t is shown
in reply that Col. Fellows has paid off most
of the judgments from savings from his
salary, and is making monthly payments on
the others. He has, perhaps, been blam-
able FOR loose management of his affairs,
but fairness required that if the matter
were published at all the whole story
should be told

Cosmopolitan. San Francisco.

San Francisco has many admirers and
but few hRtcrs, writes Edward Roberts
in the New York Post In some respects
it is the most interesting city in America
TO visit, whatever it may be to live in.
Inc interesting features arc varied and
many, and all visitors are impressed with
the unlikeness OF the place to any other
American city. Every nationality seems
TO be represented: China in one quarter,
Italy in another, Germany here, France
there. You can dine in the restaurant Of
any country as inclination prompts,
served by an almond eyed Celestial or by
a courteous Frenchman; and If tired Of
wandering in quarters that apparently
'arc not in America at all, you have but TO
turn the corner and walk a block to find
everything as American as heart could
wish. / think, and indeed know, that I
should never enjoy living in San Fran
cisco, and / am equally sure that my visits
10 1t will never be otherwise than agree
able. The city, like Paris, FOR instance.
has a liveliness and buoyancy that quick
ems ones sense of enjoyment; and then,
too, the climate is invigorating, and
one sees more flowers sold on the street
corners than he has been accustomed to
in our staid old Eastern cities, that would
be shocked, / fear, il they had 10 coun
tcnance all the gayeties Of San Francisco.
1t is far from beinQan eminently proper
place, this city Of which write. Many
OF its people go 10 church, but as many
more do not, and the places Of amusement
have the most liberal patronage. There
arc vast numbers Of underground concert
and beer saloons. where the air is hot and
foul, and from which one hears bolster
ous music and shouts Of noisy applause.
Such places nrc called dives" and their
presence gives % San Francisco many Of
the characteristics OF mining towns in
Colorado. The theatres OF the city, are
as rule, dingy in appearance and unat-
tractiyc, the only exceptions being the
Baldwin and the Alcazar two play
houses where one feels ot home and IS
able 10 enjoy much comfort But the
plays presented at all the theatres are
equal to those given in the East.

Frank Bean, who recently pleaded
